You don't say it outright, but you hint — replies slow down, topics are dodged. This habit of "always relying on non-verbal cues to express boundaries" is actually a risk-avoidance mechanism you use to defend against "direct conflict and breaking harmony"; you fear that rejecting outright will make you seem difficult or trigger backlash, so you push the "responsibility to guess" onto others, using ambiguity to protect yourself. But invisible boundaries can never be truly respected. Try stating "what I need" clearly regarding a small matter today; when you learn to take vocal responsibility for your needs, you won't constantly be hurt by misunderstandings.
